We’ll be the first to admit, cooking fish and seafood at home can be intimidating, especially if you’ve never attempted it before. We’re here to tell you—you don’t have to let restaurants have all the fun! It’s actually quite easy to cook everything from salmon to shrimp, scallops to lobster, and everything in between, all at home. Whether you’re new to it or are an old pro looking for inspiration, these 90 weeknight seafood dinners include everything from basic staples to wild flavor combos to guarantee you’ll never get bored.
If you’re unsure of swapping seafood in for your regular chicken and red meat dishes, consider this: Seafood contains a ton of nutrients like omega-3s, iron, protein, and vitamins B and D (more than any other meat, according to the FDA!). The best part? Most fish take less than 15 minutes to cook, meaning you can have dinner on the table FAST.
If you’re new to cooking seafood, try one of our easy whole fish recipes, like baked cod, garlicky lemon baked tilapia, or our baked Chilean sea bass. They’re not super-fishy tasting and are impossible to mess up. Want something that’s just as easy, but is even more impressive? Try our lemon brown butter salmon, our fried fish, or our creamy lemon garlic shrimp . Looking for a more low-key weeknight meal? Try our salmon quinoa bowls, our feta & herb crusted salmon, or our sheet-pan garlicky shrimp & veggies. We’ve also got tons of pasta dishes that come together quickly and can serve a crowd, like our roasted red pepper shrimp linguine, our shrimp fettuccine Alfredo, our linguine with clams. Use these as jumping-off points for adding seafood to all your favorite weeknight dinners.
